I love this movie so much

How sad is this?

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Most of the time weird I got lost a lot but the Beatles one of the no the best band so amazing soundtrack

I heard that when this movie first came out, it was panned by critics. Being a fan of the Beatles, I decided to watch it anyway, expecting it to suck. It didn't.The story is that Ringo takes his aunt on the Magical Mystery Tour with the other Beatles and a bunch of weird stuff happens. That's it, honestly. So don't expect a story that makes sense.The writing is literally nonexistent; This was all done impromptu. The Beatles literally just took all of their friends and family on a trip outside the country and made everything up as they gone.The comedy is admirably pretty decent. I liked the scene where a Drill Sargent taught everyone how to attack a cow and I found the racing scene mildly amusing, but I especially laughed at the stripper scene where her breasts come into view and they put a censor box over them. That was just really cheap that I couldn't help but laugh. Although I do think that some scenes drag on for too long.The cinematography was great and even innovative for it's time where it made use of the kaleidoscope lens, impressive lighting effects, cycling through colors (which I'm sure was impressive at the time because this was long before Windows Movie Maker), etc. Speaking of color, it's probably a good idea to bring up that this movie was shot in color and it was supposed to be released in theaters. Somehow, it ended up as a Made-For-TV Movie and first aired on the BBC1 which was only broadcasting in black and white at the time, which probably led to it's poor reception. The movie was later released on BBC2 which was broadcasting in color but that barely helped because only around 200,000 households had color TVs in the UK at the time.The highlights of the movie are definitely the music videos. Obviously the music is amazing, being a Beatles film and all, and the accompanying music videos are just as good. All of the videos fit the song really good. The music video for "The Fool on the Hill" captures the whimsical tone of the song, the one for "Blue Jay Way" fits perfectly with the eerie and mysterious atmosphere the song gives out, and the music video for "I Am the Walrus" makes about as much sense as the actual song. Special mention goes to the video for "Flying", which is just a bunch of landscapes with the cycling color effect. The video is actually kind of pretty. Except that, again, this film was originally broadcasted in black and white, and even when it was broadcasted in color a few days later, few people had a color TV. So back in the day, this video was boring and ugly.My final thoughts are that I think this movie is pretty decent and is not as bad as people make it out to be. Although while this movie did fail in it's home country, it did gain a cult following here in the US, mainly broadcasting on indie or public access TV. I recommend this film to Beatles fans or anyone who wants to know what the 60s were like.

(Spoilers) Mostly the songs are rather unconnected little moments of joy, but the way that Mr. Bloodvessel's little speech-- "I am concerned, that you enjoy yourselves.... within the limits of British decency"-- segues into "I Am The Walrus" is just *perfect*. More broadly it's just, you know, quite a trip. I'd never heard of a "mystery tour" (day-trip to nowhere in particular) before reading the little pamphlet that came with the DVD, and it's a swell little idea. Also, I just love Paul, and it's kinda neat how this was to some extent Paul's little project.... It's great how he performs "The Fool on the Hill". It's just as good "A Hard Day's Night"-- actually the bit with Ringo and his aunt is a little reminiscent-- as well as an interesting contrast. It's a nice little picture of where the band was at the time, as well a bit of an image as to why they gave up touring in favor of a different kind of.... they certainly seem to have a bit more fun, is what I mean. And really no matter what anybody else says when the little doors of the old TVs were opened up to this little offering in 1967, I think it must have been quite the gift. (9/10)

Magical Mystery Tour is an hour-long TV movie starring The Beatles - John Lennon,Paul McCartney,George Harrison and Ringo Starr.It was based on a loose unscripted narrative, this experimental film was directed by The Beatles themselves and it was the vehicle to present 6 new songs namely: Magical Mystery Tour, The Fool On The Hill, Flying, I Am The Walrus, Blue Jay Way and Your Mother Should Know. In the movie, the Beatles decided to hire a psychedelic bus, take a trip into the English countryside, and film the results, no matter how bizarre or boring. With a motley cast of characters, the group basically tramps about the landscape with occasional music cues to give the film a bit of flow.This is definitely a must-see for Beatles buffs and anyone interested in how the '60s looked as they were happening.But as a film itself,it was nearly impossible to watch as there is nothing that really happens except killer numbers from the Fab Four.It was mainly all about their music and nothing more.
